Bradley Fellows Program

This program supports two fourth year students working on their dissertation research with a monthly stipend for twelve months. The fellowship also carries an out-of-state tuition waiver. Interested third year students should submit a research proposal (or current version of the paper) to Dr. Sarin, along with a recommendation letter from an advisor. The decision process is based on the merit of the proposal as well as the student’s academic record.
